New Zealand is particularly blessed with clean, unpolluted waters. NZ has no dangers of poisonous shellfish, coral or sea snakes. The only NZ hazard is occasional outbreaks of 'stinger' jellyfish, which are well publicised. Sharks cruise our coastal waters but close encounters are extremely rare.

Popular windsurfing areas include the Bay of Islands, Auckland Harbour, Hauraki Gulf, Lake Taupo, East Cape and Oakura (near New Plymouth). Also Wellington - the so called 'windy' capital, where Cook Strait 'breezes' often exceed 60 kph.
